Chapter 7: The Wormhole Crisis

Li Xin opened his eyes and found himself in a dim and unfamiliar bedroom, he reached out in confusion and rubbed his sideburns twice on his forehead, recalling what happened before. He walked out of the dormitory, and now there was food prepared for himself on the table in the hall, some gray slices of meat that did not look very good, which could have been sun-dried meat from the corpses of his own kind killed in battle, or it could have been harvested from the mutant beasts that had been hunted.

"It's disgusting" Looking at these disgusting foods, Li Xin felt that the contents of his stomach were tumbling, and he breathed lightly helplessly, no matter what, he had to eat something. In this situation of extreme food scarcity, in order to survive, human beings have almost degenerated into wild beasts that eat raw meat. Li Xin no longer knows whether the mutation born on the confused star is evolution or atavism?

"Do you really want to eat it?"

Li Xin stared at the slices of meat pinched in his hands, sighed heavily and stuffed the so-called food into his mouth. Squirming his mouth and chewing a few times, the thick sour smell of meat spread in his mouth, he felt sick to his stomach, covered his mouth and coughed fiercely.

"What the hell is this?" Li Xin looked at the plate of food in front of him helplessly, reached out and picked up pieces of meat one after another and put them in his mouth. He barely chewed, swallowed his only son, and the powerful stomach pouch could digest almost all the food in a short time, which may be a benefit after the improvement of his physique - at least he had to worry about indigestion.

"Is it delicious?"

Li Xin was stunned for a moment, looking sideways to find the source of the voice, the female teacher Kalian was standing behind her, when did the other party appear, she didn't notice it, it seems that she entered Qiaonan Village to reunite with Yayun, and her vigilance is declining sharply.

"I just came out and saw that you were trying to destroy the food, so I didn't bother you." Kalian walked around the table and sat down opposite Li Xin, staring at the other party's face and couldn't help but laugh, "I thought you would eat all this food without expression, but I didn't expect you to have a disgusted expression." ”

"As long as it's a human being, it will have an expression, but it's just that the things that have been born these days are numb." Li Xin looked at the meat on the plate in disgust, and said, "By the way, what kind of meat is that, this thing seems to be rotten." ”

"It is said that the meat of those burrowworms is rich in protein." Karene said with a strange face. "Yayun said that you are not used to eating human flesh, all the food specially prepared for you, this is your privilege, others can't eat it, don't be too picky, the situation in the village is not very good, it is said that there are no mutant creatures around here, unless you eat grass, that thing may not be able to eat, no one knows whether it is poisonous or not."

"Eating grass? I'm afraid there are no more grass-eating creatures in this world. But, then again, this crypt worm is really unpalatable, and it tastes worse than rat monster meat, so don't believe you try it yourself. Li Xin pursed his lips and drank all the water in the cup, "By the way, what about Yayun?" ”

"Sister Yayun has something to do, she asked me to stay and take care of you." Karene threw the last few pieces of gray-white meat on the plate into her mouth, and hurriedly reached out to cover her mouth in the room, swallowing her stomach with unbearable nausea, and trembling all over. "You're right, this thing is terrible."

In vain, the door of the room was pushed open, and a hot wind followed a hurried figure rushed towards him, and the remaining shade of the originally gloomy room was instantly swept away, making people's mood irritable in the dry heat.

Li Xin looked up at Tony and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

"We're in trouble." Tony walked up to Li Xin at the table like a whirlwind, and said anxiously: "Those damn wormholes have spread to the village, and three more capable people disappeared not long ago, and we suspect that the three have been dragged into the ground by the worms and turned into food for the worms." ”

"Oh" Li Xin's reaction was extremely indifferent, the alternation of hot and cold made his body a little uncomfortable, the feeling of irritability spread to his whole body, and he almost had an urge to kick Tony away. Li Xin got up and walked into the bedroom, put on a fur cloak on himself, and followed Tony out of the room.

As the three of them crossed the street, he clearly felt dozens of eyes from nearby houses fall on the three of them.

"How many people are left in the village?"

"Fifteen hundred." The black merchant gives an approximate number jΓΉ. "Originally, there were at least five or six thousand people when they came out, but I didn't expect that only a quarter of them would survive now.

It's already good, the situation in the city is even worse than here, don't forget, the city has the largest number of people, and the evolution of mutant beasts everywhere is very high, and I almost lost my life in the preparation room before.

"Now there are fewer and fewer places that are relatively safe, and the living space of human beings is being squeezed, and soon we will be cornered."

"I understand your consciousness, and I also support your previous decision, after all, people do not destroy for themselves. If we don't be ruthless, we will definitely die in the end, and even if you don't drive them away, they won't sympathize with us, and all of them will become corpses on the side of the road, allowing carrion animals to bite and eat. Li Xin said these words as simple as having just eaten a meal.

There is a pit in the concrete street, which is a bit like a subsidence, no doubt caused by the so-called cave worms hollowing out the ground, and the cave is not small and comparable to the sewers of the city. Li Xin Xian Yayun is also nearby, although she is wearing a thick animal skin cloak, the two have lived and died together, and along the way, Li Xin can always quickly find her location in the crowded crowd.

Yayun's side was followed by a guy wrapped tightly in a cloak, the figure was relatively petite, and the visual was a woman, and there was a person with a more powerful weapon next to him, they looked nervously at the wormhole, as if there would be a worm that would turn out at any time to sneak attack.

"Those missing people are supposed to be dead, and mutants don't usually leave their mouths alive." Li Xin looked at Tony and a few men who came over, "What are you going to do now, go down to them?" ”

"How is it possible" Tony shook his head in disappointment and told Li Xin the plan: "Lure the worms out of the hole and annihilate them all on the ground." ”

"You're going to get a corpse and wait here for it to come out." After Li Xin listened to Tony's plan, he raised his eyebrows slightly and shook his head and asked, "Are you sure it appears?" Even if you wait until it appears, the cryptworm can easily drag the corpse into the cave, how can you keep it for a short time, instead of letting the cryptworm escape and burrow into the cave again, and we don't know how many cryptworms there are, even if you kill one or two and there is a group below. ”

The strong man in the vest and hat beside Tony couldn't help frowning, clasped his hands on his shoulders and retorted loudly: "But we can't do nothing, watching these damn bugs destroy the village, so I'll still send someone to squat in the pit first." ”

"It's a waste of time and energy, and who wants to take on this task, yourself?" Li Xin retorted that this kind of stupid construction would not work at all, especially in the hot weather of the day.

Tony was afraid that the two would have a conflict, so he hurriedly blocked the sight of the two of them with one side of his body, and interjected: "This kind of thing can't be solved in a moment, everyone should brainstorm and think of a solution." ”

"How's it going to be poisoned?" Karene suddenly said, "Put the corpses of some mutant beasts doped with poison to lure, as for the poison, I think there should be someone in the village who can use the poison, let them hit it and figure it out together." ”

"I think this plan can be tried, what do you think?" Tony turned back to several of the roundtable lawmakers behind him for support.

"I agree, at least it's better than doing nothing" He glanced at Li Xin fiercely, and turned to gather the people in the village who had the ability to "poison".

"How to deal with the prey of the corpse, I don't want to use the corpse of a companion who died in battle." As soon as Tony spoke, the atmosphere around him was extremely strict.

"If you don't mind, let's find a cool place to discuss, it's not a good idea to be exposed to the scorching sun all the time." Yayun walked over and pointed to the nearby sweaty powerhouse to Tony.

Tony nodded in agreement, after all, it was a shame to stay outside in such a hot weather, and besides, it was impossible for the cave worms in the cave to burrow out of the burrow in such a hot weather.

"I'll hand over the corpse of the mutant beast to me, I don't think it will take much time if I don't need it." Li Xin took over the task of hunting enough mutant beasts, not to mention, he didn't want to eat those hard-to-swallow insect meats. "I need a place where mutant beasts are abundant, and someone to help me transport those corpses."

"I knew there was a suitable place to hunt." Tony clapped his hands and reminded: "The howling forest south of Qiaonan Village should be able to have enough mutant beasts, but where is there some danger, and the relics of Qiaonan Village were hiding in the forest before. ”

"It's not a problem, so it's decided, Tony will help me find support from thirty people first, and then we'll leave." Li Xin nodded in agreement.
